The main question: the share price moved +44.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −422.9%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the FutureFuel share price today? FutureFuel Corp.'s share price was $5.69 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 23.7% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $3 and $6, and at that close it sat 99% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 13 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +42% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does FutureFuel pay? FutureFuel Corp. paid $0.19 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.01 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $5.69 that is a yield of 3.34%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is FutureFuel on? FutureFuel is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is FutureFuel profitable? FutureFuel Corp. earned $11.2 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $49.4 M. That is 14.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $14.2 M. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was −$49.4 M (−418.6% on the year before). ## How much revenue does FutureFuel make, and is it growing? FutureFuel Corp. reported $78.7 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +120.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −26.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $95.7 M. The last four reported quarters add to $153 M. FY25 revenue was $95.7 M, −60.7% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +19.9% on average, against −26.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −7.6%, against −32.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does FutureFuel keep? FutureFuel Corp.'s operating margin was 14.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 57.9 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −55.3% and 7.4%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +57.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +53.8 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is FutureFuel's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 145% of FutureFuel Corp.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 its operations used $28.7 M of cash, against −$49.4 M of profit. After $17.2 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$46.0 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does FutureFuel's cash go? FutureFuel Corp. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $37.9 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 13.2% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $37.9 M over the last 3 years. In short: most of the cash goes on covering the loss, not on new assets; spending on assets is small next to it. ## What is FutureFuel's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? FutureFuel Corp.'s P/E is 11.1×, with too little history to compare. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 11.6×, over 1 month of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −422.9% while the price moved +44.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the FutureFuel business getting better or worse? FutureFuel Corp.'s business is getting worse. Revenue, profit and EPS growth are shrinking: revenue growth is −7.6% in the latest quarter, against +2.3% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at -17.0%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does FutureFuel earn on its capital? FutureFuel Corp. earned a ROE of −32% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 32.8 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −51.6% net margin and 0.50× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −51.6% net margin × 0.50× asset turnover × 1.24× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −32.0% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −23.1% − 9.7% = −32.8 percentage points. The 9.7% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The −23.1% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at −53.1%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does FutureFuel have too much debt? FutureFuel Corp. has total debt of $324 K against shareholder equity of $153 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.00× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.00 in FY21 to 0.00 in FY23. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the FutureFuel shareholding pattern? 5.4% of FutureFuel Corp.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.6 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is FutureFuel from balance-sheet trouble? For FutureFuel Corp., the Z-score is 2.10. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.10 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does FutureFuel rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: FutureFuel Corp. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Specialty Chemicals. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is FutureFuel compared with?
